Welcome to the Main wiki!

Congratulations on your new site!

Here are just a few things you can do here when you're logged in:
  • Users - Want to see who has an account and when they last visited? Visit the Users page (also in left nav bar).
  • Notifications - Find out when topics and pages change by adding your username or email to the Notifications page. Look for the Notifications link on the left nav.
  • Site and page updates - You can also see what's changed on the site by visiting the Changes page or see an individual page change history by clicking History at the bottom of each page.
  • Attach a file - Need to share a file? An image, Powerpoint, or something else? Use the Attach link at the bottom of each page or replace view or edit in the website address with "attach" (e.g., /bin/view/Main/SomePageTitle becomes /bin/view/Main/SomePageTitle).
  • Add a new page - Want to create a new page to a topic you're viewing? Just use the Create New Topic option in the left nav bar. It will add a page to that topic area.
  • Create your own shortcut links - Once you feel comfortable and have areas you visit often, set up your own personalized nav bar by clicking Create personal sidebar in the left nav.


If you add files and pages, don't forget to link to them!

Templates


PROJECT MANAGEMENT: START. If you want to use this site to track Project Management only, delete this line and everything above it.

Project Management Template

Mission / Objectives

You can add a mission statement and objectives here. Create bullets by starting each line with :
  • Bullet 1
  • Bullet 2

For numbered lists, just use a # sign rather than * to start each line:
  1. Bullet 1
  2. Bullet 2

Contacts / Members

If you'd like to include a contact list for your team members, you can include it here, in a table, or link to a separate page.

Option A: Table

Team Member Role Email Phone #
Jim role anyone@example.org (202) 555-1212
Suzie role anyone@example.org (202) 555-1212
Bob role anyone@example.org (202) 555-1212

Option B: Separate Page

You can create a separate Contact List page:
  • Think of the page name you'd like to use - e.g., Contacts
  • Add a link by just typing the name in double brackets. You can make it a heading too by selecting a style from the style drop-down box in the text editor.

    [[Contacts]]

    If you think your wiki will grow, use a prefix like ProjectName to help organize things a bit.

    [[ProjectName:Contacts][Contacts]

Schedule

Just like with Contacts, you have different options for including a schedule. You can:
  • Include the schedule as a bulleted or numbered list here - just start each line with * for bullets or # for numbers
  • Use a table like you can in Contacts above
  • Upload a file and link to it using the following syntax:
    [[ProjectName:Schedule][View schedule]]

Meetings

Want to track meetings in your wiki? You can add a list of meetings to this page or a separate meeting page by adding this to your page:
[[Meetings]] or [[ProjectName:Meetings]]

Just add links to an Agenda page and you now have a spot to post your agenda, attendees, meeting minutes, and action items. Here are two examples to start:


On your Meeting pages, you can list your:
  • Agenda and responsibilities
  • Attendees
  • Meeting materials (use file upload and link right to them!)
  • Link to your meeting minutes once they're complete

You can capture your meeting minutes right in your agenda page, if you'd like to make it easier, just by clicking Edit. Here's a sample .

Status Reports

Did you know you can "watch" pages in the wiki? Take a look below and look for the "Watch this page" option. Any time someone updates the page, you will receive an alert.

Instead of sending emails or documents for status reports that you need to combine, why not have your team the status report here?

Set up a page for each week, like we showed you with the Meeting Agendas / Minutes above. Then leave a spot for each of them to add their activities. Better yet, you can list the tasks and let them report to each. You'll get an update each time someone edits the page, and can compare versions if needed to see who did what. Here are a couple ways to do it.

Option A: Table

Team Member Activities this week Next week Concerns
Jim
  1. Created data model
  2. Set up web services
  1. Set up security privileges
  1. Still need SLAs
Suzie
  1. Created personas
  2. Interviewed users
  1. Identify design features
None
Bob PLACEHOLDER PLACEHOLDER PLACEHOLDER

Option B: List

If you move this list to a separate page, you can promote the headings by removing equal signs. That will also increase the font size.
Jim
Activities this week
  1. Created data model
  2. Set up web services
Next week
  1. Set up security privileges
Concerns
  1. Still need SLAs

Action Items

You can add action items as a numbered list, like this:
  1. Action item 1. Due: 12/29/2010
  2. Action item 2. Due: 12/31/2010


Or, you can put the action items in a table and make it sortable by leaving in " sortable" in the markup. The slightly different due date format (YYYY-MM-DD) helps make the Due date column sortable.
# Action item Assigned to Due Status
1 Text Name 2010-12-29 Open
3 Text Name 2010-12-30 Open


PROJECT MANAGEMENT: END. If you want to use this site to track Project Management only, delete this line and everything below it.
